Clouds will build this afternoon, and eventually isolated showers and thunderstorms will develop. Storms will be most numerous over and near the mountains, especially southwest of Pueblo, but could occur anywhere through this evening. Severe weather isn't terribly likely, and although storms shouldn't be huge rainmakers, they will be slow moving, so should a decent storm park overhead it could produce decent rainfall in spots. High temperatures will reach the lower to middle 80s around Colorado Springs, upper 80s to lower 90s along the Arkansas River, 60s and 70s for the mountains.

Tonight: Evening showers and thunderstorms should gradually wind down, then mostly clear. Low temperatures in the 50s and 60s for the plains, 40s to lower 50s over the mountains.

Extended: The holiday weekend should be quite warm with afternoon temperatures well into the 80s and 90s for lower elevations. Isolated showers and thunderstorms are expected during the afternoon and evening hours, but they should remain rather spotty. and will be most likely over and near the mountains this weekend. Slightly cooler air should settle over the area early next week, and as that happens storms may start to spread out over more of the plains again.
